I recently was interviewed by CEOCFO Magazine. The Q&A was published on line. You can read the article here. We covered the past, present and future directions of New Ridge. I also managed to describe (and pitch) our products. The article is available for download in PDF format (or formatted for mobile devices Mobile PDF).

The Internet of Things (IoT) market is huge, and has the potential to become even larger. Market reports and white papers from research firms, industry leaders, and government agencies worldwide have predicted different, but equally impressive annual revenues for IoT-enabled tech in the trillions of dollars. And with so many variations given to IoT—from analytics Read more about IoT in Fiber Optical Test and Measurement[…]

With the release of software version 2.1.0, the NRT-8000 is truly a powerful instrument. Some of our updates offer features typical of other OSAs such as scan averaging and data logging. And some of our new features extend the NRT-8000’s capabilities beyond the boundaries of traditional OSAs. Below we will describe the most significant new features and updates. Resolutions Read more about New Features Enable New Test Capabilities for the NRT-8000 OSA[…]

In gratitude to the academics who push new frontiers of science and technology and train the next generation of scientists and engineers, we are announcing our 2016 ‘Back To School’ sale of the NRT-8000 compact OSA. For this limited time the NRT-8000 is priced below the normal academic discount. So academics, get a new Optical Spectrum Analyzer Read more about A Back-to-School OSA[…]

Last year New Ridge launched the NRT-8000 compact OSA. It was rated Excellent in the 2015 Lightwave Innovation Awards. Yet we had a lot of work left to do. We just returned from OFC 2016 where the NRT-8000 was the star of our booth. Being small and low cost are great selling points, but the Read more about The Little OSA that Can[…]

I get a fair number of confidential phone calls and e-mails reporting coherent receivers unlocking due to very fast SOP transient events. These transients can be hundreds of thousands of radians per second, even over 1 million radians per second, within 10s of microseconds, followed by a slower relaxation in a few milliseconds. Such ∆SOPs Read more about Are Ultrafast SOP Events Affecting Your Coherent Receivers?[…]

Below is a new video we put together to introduce the user-friendly interface of our NRT-8000, Optical Spectrum Analyzer. This short video provides a brief step-by-step guide to operating and taking measurements with one of New Ridge Technologies’ newest products. Any Windows computer or handheld tablet can install and run this app. We have recreated Read more about Optical Spectrum Analyzer User-Interface[…]
